The present disclosure provides cleaning apparatus for respirator masks (e.g., N95 respirator masks) and methods of using same.

The present application relates to a field of sterilization and disinfection, and in particular, relates to a sterilization equipment and a sterilization process. A sterilization equipment includes a rotatable table, a heat transmission pipe, a suction pipe, a pretreatment gas pipe and a protective gas pipe; a plurality of working station modules are provided on the rotatable table; a heating pipe is provided inside the working station module and configured for communicating with the heat transmission pipe; a material port, a suction port, a first gas inlet, a second gas inlet and a reagent port are defined in the working station module; when the rotatable table is rotated, the working station module is moved to a feeding station, a pretreatment station, a pre-sterilization station, a reagent adding station, a sterilization station, a cleaning station and a discharging station in turn.

The invention relates to devices, systems, and methods for conditioning a zirconium oxide sorbent module for use in dialysis after recharging. The devices, systems, and methods can provide for conditioning and recharging of zirconium oxide in a single system, or in separate systems.

A reusable respirator including a mask adapted for covering and conforming to the face around the nose and a mouth of a user, a strap configured to secure the mask to a face of the user, and a filter component. All components of the respirator are capable of being cleaned, disinfected and sterilized at temperatures in excess of 50° C. An outer surface of the mask is substantially smooth and wettable for easily disinfecting and is shaped with a pair of outer shield portions for housing particulate air filters. The outer shield portions each include a closeable vent through the outer surface that is adapted to provide a user seal check and direct air flow through the outer surface for filtering by the respective particulate air filter, which is adapted to filter at least 95% of airborne particles.

A disinfecting floor mat having a disinfecting wet station (or wet side) onto which a user may step and wet the bottoms of his/her shoes with a disinfecting and/or cleaning solution are described. The wet section can comprise a shallow pool over which an elastomeric cover is provided that has small holes. slits or other openings distributed thereon permitting the solution to flow therethrough when the cover is stepped upon to make contact with the shallow pool bottom. A reservoir of cleaning solution can be provided that is in fluid communication with the shallow pool to help ensure it remains full. Optionally, the floor mat can further include a drying section (or dry side) located next to the wet section to permit a user to substantially dry the bottoms of his/her shoes after disinfecting the shoe bottoms in the wet section.

An ultraviolet radiation cleaning system for baggage trays in an airport security environment, comprising a radiation tunnel with an input for dirty trays and an output for clean trays, wherein at the input a first buffering zone is provided for a stack of dirty trays, and at the output a second buffering zone is provided for a stack of clean trays.

An unlocking apparatus for unlocking locking devices of at least two medical ring instruments, and a sieve basket. The locking devices include cooperating locking elements, and the unlocking apparatus includes a first receiving body with at least two ring receptacles for accommodating first rings of the at least two ring instruments. The unlocking apparatus includes an unlocking body with at least two unlocking elements cooperating with second rings of the at least two ring instruments. The unlocking body and the receiving body are movable relative to one another in an actuating direction such that the at least two unlocking elements engage on and move the second rings relative to the first rings in an unlocking direction that is transverse, in particular perpendicular, to a first ring plane and to a second ring plane for transferring the locking devices from a locked position into an unlocked position.

A method of cleaning a contaminated surface, such as cleaning the elongate interior lumen of an endoscope contaminated with flesh, bone, blood, mucous, faeces or biofilm, said method comprising the steps of: providing a suspension of solid particles in a liquid to said contaminated surface, and flowing said suspension along said surface thereby to remove contaminant from the surface. The suspension is preferably a paste, where the solid material may be e.g. crystals of a salt, silicon oxide or organic material. The paste preferably has a solid fraction between 5 and 55%. A rheology modifier may be present.

A health system for a work vehicle includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a first sensor signal indicative of a body temperature of an operator positioned outside a cab of the work vehicle. The controller is also configured to determine whether the body temperature of the operator is above a threshold body temperature. Furthermore, the controller is configured to output a first control signal to an interlock system indicative of instructions to lock a door of the cab of the work vehicle in response to determining the body temperature of the operator is above the threshold body temperature.

A system and method for cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing a container is disclosed. The system has a sanitizing agent chamber for storing a sanitizing agent, the one or more solution chambers in fluid communication with the container, a pump in fluid commination with the sanitizing agent, wherein the pump is in communication with a gas, and at least one spray nozzle fluidly connected to the at least one solution chamber via a conduit positioned within the container, wherein the spray nozzle comprises a housing inside which the sanitizing agent is mixed at pressure with the gas to disperse the sanitizing agent and gas mixture into the container for sanitizing the container.
